• • • From the full access on Hodgson, a circulation route is to be created leading east of Hodgson to the access point on Ware Rd., providing access to all properties in the area. This should be a public road. However, an access drive with mutual easements across properties is a possible solution if it provides adequate access and circulation. • West of Hodgson Rd., there is to be one access onto CR J, located as far west as possible from the Hodgson/CR J intersection. This new access is to be constructed as right in/right out only. This will be a driveway into the development site , and there will be access easements on that site to provide access to, from, and through property to the north, leading to the full access on Hodgson. No other new accesses are to be allowed. The City will work toward eliminating all other accesses along CR J. • The access points, right of way, and internal circulation routes noted above are to create a circulation network serving all properties in the study area rather than individual driveways onto arterial and collector roads that serve only individual properties. • For properties on the eastern edge of the study area, access to Ware Road is a possibility if the City judges the design to be safe. This does not preclude the need for public right of way or easements elsewhere. • The Hodgson/CR J intersection is to be signalized prior to or as part of any significant development in the study area. This is to be a cooperative effort of Anoka and Ramsey Counties and the Cities of Lino Lakes and Shoreview. • Other road improvement needs such as additional lanes, median, and the like will be designed in cooperation with Anoka County, Ramsey County, and Shoreview as appropriate. • The quantity of development of the area will be limited to ensure that traffic generation does not exceed the capacities of Hodgson Road, the intersection with Co Rd J, or the new access. Development shall not create the need for a traffic signal at the new full access on Hodgson Road. • Planning for the area must look forward to full development of the study area so as not to allow one project to "use up capacity" so that other sites cannot develop without creating the need for a signal at the new access. • Right of way will be dedicated with development to ensure adequate right of way for Hodgson and CR J as well as for the internal circulation system, as necessary. Trails, Open Space • A trail connection, included as an `enhancement corridor' in the Parks, Natural Open • Space /Greenways and Trail System Plan, will be established across the study area.
